So, I'm traveling - visiting friends on the east coast. But I forgot my contact lenses.
No problem, my prescription is very common, I'll just buy some out here.
"Hi, I'm traveling and lost my contacts, I need to buy some. Here's my prescription (.......)"
"Are you a patient here?"
"No, I don't need an eye exam, just some replacement contacts".
"We can't just use your prescription, because {stupid rules), but we can get you in for an appt Tuesday".
"I need them for this weekend."
"Ok, have your doctor email you the prescription, then email it to us and we'll see if we have them in stock"
"Can you just call my doctor?"
"No, because (stupid rules). Just have them email it to you, that will work".
"Great, thanks"
-----------------------------------
My doctor
"Hello - (I explain my situation) - can you email me my prescription?"
"Unfortunately, we can't email it to you because (more stupid rules). Have them call us and we'll fax it to them."
FUCK
This is why people are so fed up with the nanny state. This is why they think COVID is fake and won't wear masks.
Regulators, fuck off!
